Gyroscopic Investing

Hello folks

First post here . I'm a long time advocate of the PP, well in a roundabout form , I invest 33/33/33 gold , total gilts and global all cap fund (cash interest is taxed in the UK) .

My question is , has anyone used say 20% of their 25% stock allocation towards private equity ?

Welcome. Moved to VP section / DS

How can a regular person even invest in private equity? I don't know about the UK, but if I'm correct in the US you need to be an accredited investor (high net worth and/or high income) to be allowed to invest in these funds.

Coincidentally, the latest Tony Robbins books espouses private equity (and various methods to get access to it), and recommends it for diversification.
